5 habits of unsuccessful people

When I was a loser, I had the tendency of blaming everything and everybody in my surroundings for my constant failures. The sad thing about this is that it took me years to realize that I was the root of all my problems. This realization was the turning point that I needed to be able to stir my life in the right direction.

If you are reading this, it could mean that you are taking your first steps in your attempt to overcome your loser mentality. I hope that you can prevail over whatever is affecting you at this time. Please keep reading to find out the 5 things that losers share in common.

Procrastinates

Procrastination when mixed with the absence of goals, could become a lethal and ever-lasting mix. So lethal that you could be branded a loser for the rest of your life. When you are a professional procrastinator, you are a year too late for everything.

How can I stop procrastinating?

You have to understand that you need to push yourself every single day. Because the only way that you can succeed in life is by taking action. Let us do an exercise; I want you to write a list of the things that you wish to obtain or achieve. Now that you have a purpose, you need to set a target date in which you are expected to mark that goal off.

There are the three things that you need to beat procrastination; purpose, direction, and action. If you want to start a Website, watch some video tutorials or read a book on how to do it and then, do it. If need to lose weight, talk to professionals, read related articles and then start eating right. If you want something, convince yourself that you really want it and act as you want it.

Your time in in the NOW and the more you wait, the less time you will have to enjoy the good things that life can provide. Make your time count and find a way to finish what you start.

Being Goal-less

Being goal-less means that you are regularly wasting your time on things that do not provide value to you or others. Remember this: “Time is more precious than money.”

Can you imagine a boat without a destination? Now, replace the word “boat” with “life.”

If you don’t have personal or professional goals, then, what are you doing with your time? Have you achieved everything that you always envisioned for yourself? Are you satisfied with the amount of money you earn or with the life you have? If the answer is “no,” proceed to write down your goals on a piece of paper and tell yourself that you have unfinished business on earth. Start by setting achievable goals, something that you know can be achieved in a short time-frame. Once you start scraping goals off your list, you will gain the confidence needed to take on bigger goals.

Another thing; organize your goals by importance and difficulty, then set a reasonable time-frame for its completion. You could also categorize your goals as Life, Personal, Professional, Short-term, Long-term goals, etc. Go over the list every single day and remind yourself that only by taking action, those goals will be achieved.

Self-Doubts

Doubting yourself not only lowers your morale, but it also shortens your horizon. Do not doubt yourself too much, we all have flaws. What you need to worry about is in investing time to improve what can be improved. There will be weaknesses that you may not be able to develop much, and if this is your case, focus on using more of your strengths. If this applies to your work environment, consider changing to a position where you get you to utilize your strengths.

It is essential that you make an assessment of the things that believe need improvement. Write down each of these weaknesses and give them a degree of importance. Now that you understand the influence they have on your life; dedicate time, effort and money to improve them.

Be positive, trust yourself and keep your head up, and be your own cheerleader!

Self-Doubt is not something you can get rid of so quickly. We have to start by filtering our thoughts. Think only of positive experiences and filter out the negative thoughts. Once you improve your mindset, you will see the difference it makes in your daily life.

Lacks effort

If you are not a business owner, you need to understand one thing: you are investing time in making somebody else rich! That you need to work “hard”? Yes, but you need to work harder on yourself. Give yourself 100% effort when it comes to pursuing what you want out of life.

While you work for others, be a smart worker and try to learn as much as you can so that you can move on to bigger things when the time comes. Who knows? The things that you learn at your current job might help you run your very own business whenever you decide to step up.

One last thing, if your current job is making you miserable, just move your talents somewhere else. There is always another place where you will be more appreciated. Just keep learning and growing, and you will succeed no matter where you are.

Wastes Life

Imagine that a doctor tells you that you have terminal cancer and you have just a couple of months to live. What would you do?

Ask yourself; Have I enjoyed my life to the fullest?

Do not blame troubles with money or lack of love for your neglect toward life. Treat life as an experiment as you find new ways to make it more enjoyable and exciting. Go to the beach, visit new places, learn a new language, make friends; you have so many things to do.

Take care of yourself, you deserve to live a life full of joy and new experiences. Write a bucket list of things that you want to experience. I wasted over 15 years of my life being pitiful and angry with my existence. I used to blame God and life because no matter what I did, it ended in failure. And it took years for me to realize that I was the one at fault for not having the correct mentality.
